Ezekiel25:15-16

Ver. 15. Becauſe the Philiſtines have dealt by revenge] See on ver. 12, 13. Heathens thought revenge lawful: and tallying of injuries to be but Juſtice. But Chriſtianity teacheth us that non minus mali eſt referre injuriam, Lactant. quam inferre.

For the old hatred] The Philiſtins were of the old inhabitants the Canaanites; and kept up a deadly feud.

Exſcindam exſciſſores.Ver. 16. I will out of the Cherethims] Theſe were a part of the Philiſtines, Zeph. 2.5. There is an elegancy in the Original: q. d. I will cut off the Cutters.

And deſtroy the remnant of the Sea-coaſt] Paleſtina lay upon the Midland-ſea, Zeph. 3.5.
